Promotional candy is an exceptional choice for enhancing brand visibility and delighting attendees at various business gatherings. Whether you’re planning to distribute treats at trade shows or want to sweeten your corporate events, custom candies from Cubic Promote offer a delightful and memorable way to connect with your audience. Here are some insights and ideas on how to leverage the universal appeal of candies to boost your business’s promotional efforts.
Why Choose Promotional Candies?
Candy, or lollies as they are affectionately known in many parts of the world, offers a unique advantage as a promotional item due to its universal appeal. This timeless treat is cherished by people of all ages, making it an exceptionally versatile choice for enhancing brand visibility and connection. Here’s a deeper look into why promotional candies are an ideal pick for your business:
- Universal Appeal: Lollies break down barriers. Whether your audience is composed of toddlers, teens, adults, or seniors, everyone delights in the sweet, nostalgic pleasure of candy. This universal appeal makes lollies a safe and effective promotional choice, ensuring that your marketing efforts reach and resonate with a broad demographic.
- Enhances Brand Perception: Offering a sweet treat like lollies can create positive associations with your brand. It’s a gesture that can make your company seem more approachable and thoughtful, qualities that enhance customer loyalty and brand affinity.
- Versatility in Marketing: Promotional lollies can be used in various contexts. At trade shows, a bowl of brightly coloured candies can draw attendees to your booth, providing an easy conversation starter. At corporate events or dinners, beautifully packaged lollies can serve as part of the table setting or as a parting gift, adding a touch of sweetness to the professional gathering.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to other promotional items, lollies are relatively inexpensive, especially when purchased in bulk. This cost-effectiveness allows you to reach a large number of people without stretching your marketing budget.
- Long Shelf Life: Unlike many promotional food items, lollies generally have a long shelf life, which means you can order in bulk without worrying about them expiring quickly. This makes them ideal for long-term marketing strategies and reduces waste.
Seasonal Considerations for Chocolate
Chocolates are a crowd-pleaser, but they come with their challenges, especially in warm conditions. Chocolate can melt surprisingly fast, even in the shade or moderately cool environments, turning a delightful treat into a messy ordeal. For outdoor events or summertime gatherings, it might be wise to opt for more temperature-resilient sweets.
Bulk Orders and Durability: The Case of M&M’s
While M&M’s are popular, we advise caution when ordering large quantities (e.g., over 2000 units). These chocolates can get crushed under their own weight during shipping, leading to a less appealing presentation. If you’re planning a large order, consider alternatives that withstand transport better.
Long-lasting Choices: Jelly Beans and Lollipops
If you’re planning ahead, promotional jelly beans and custom lollipops are excellent choices. They store well and don’t suffer the same quality deterioration issues as some chocolates when the office air conditioning is off overnight. Our gourmet mini jelly beans pack a flavorful punch over the larger, more bland varieties, making them an excellent choice for sophisticated brand representation.
Mints: A Polarising Choice
Mints, while a classic choice for freshening breath, can be polarising. Before deciding on promotional mints, try different varieties to choose one that best suits the broadest audience. Unlike jelly beans and lollipops, mints aren’t universally loved, so selection matters.
Integrating Promotional Candy into Your Marketing Strategy
Candy can do more than just sweeten a deal. Use custom-branded wrappers to turn each piece into a miniature advertisement for your brand. Consider including them in welcome kits at conferences, as part of thank-you gifts after meetings, or as a pleasant surprise in promotional mail-outs. For an innovative twist, match the candy type or colour to the theme of your event or corporate colours to reinforce brand identity.

At Cubic Promote, we not only ensure the quality of the candies but also provide eco-friendly packaging options to align with your brand’s sustainability efforts.
